Secretin Stimulation Test

The Secretin Stimulation Test is a medical procedure to help diagnose certain conditions affecting the pancreas, such as tumors that cause hormone overproduction. During the test, a healthcare provider injects secretin, a hormone that stimulates the pancreas to release specific substances. Blood samples are taken before and after the injection to measure these substances' levels. Abnormal responses can indicate problems like pancreatic tumors. The test provides important information to assist doctors in diagnosing and planning appropriate treatment for pancreatic disorders.
